Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 10,253,425, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 10,253,425 | |
| -1 | -10,253,425 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 10,253,425.
Example:
1 x 10,253,425 = 10,253,425
and
-1 x -10,253,425 = 10,253,425
Notice both answers equal 10,253,425
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 10,253,425 and divide it by 2:
10,253,425 ÷ 2 = 5,126,712.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 5,126,712.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 10,253,425 | |
| -1 | -10,253,425 |
Now, we try dividing 10,253,425 by 3:
10,253,425 ÷ 3 = 3,417,808.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 3,417,808.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 10,253,425 | |
| -1 | -10,253,425 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
10,253,425 ÷ 4 = 2,563,356.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 2,563,356.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 10,253,425 | |
| -1 | 10,253,425 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 13 | 25 | 35 | 65 | 91 | 175 | 325 | 455 | 2,275 | 4,507 | 22,535 | 31,549 | 58,591 | 112,675 | 157,745 | 292,955 | 410,137 | 788,725 | 1,464,775 | 2,050,685 | 10,253,425 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -13 | -25 | -35 | -65 | -91 | -175 | -325 | -455 | -2,275 | -4,507 | -22,535 | -31,549 | -58,591 | -112,675 | -157,745 | -292,955 | -410,137 | -788,725 | -1,464,775 | -2,050,685 | -10,253,425 |
